On October 13, 2023, ARMYs celebrated BTS' Jimin's birthday and sent their heartfelt birthday wishes to him. The Like Crazy singer also took to a South Korean social media platform, doing a live broadcast to express his gratitude to fans who had wished him.

Jimin turned 28 years old this month, taking a step forward in his life. As the idol went live on Weverse, he was dressed in a brown wool crewneck sweater and began reading comments while drinking water. He appeared exhausted, mentioning that he couldn't get proper sleep the night before.

Subsequently, he brought out a "cute-shaped" face cake with a worried expression, broke the first part of the cake with a hammer, and found it had a hilarious appearance.

During the live, he also asked fans to smile and laugh, hinting at the possibility of going bald one day due to a potential military enlistment.


"LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THAT": Fans sobbing as they think of Jimin's military enlistment

BTS members are currently in the second chapter of their careers, focusing on solo endeavors rather than group activities. Three members, including Jin, J-hope, and Suga, have already enlisted for military service, leading fans to worry that Jimin might be the next member to serve his term.

The Like Crazy singer asked fans to smile and laugh on the day he goes bald. After his comments, fans entered an emotional state, comprehending what he meant by the statement. They soon realized he was talking about his military enlistment, and some expressed that he should not discuss such a serious matter on a happy day.

Many fans also stated that they wouldn't be able to smile and laugh on that day, and since Jimin knows fans will be deeply affected, he might have asked them to smile in contrast.

He also showed a keychain gifted to him by Jin when he visited him recently. He even put the money in the keychain for his birthday.

Check out how fans are reacting to Jimin's comments about going bald.

As for how fans are reacting to Jimin's comments about going bald on that day, there were hints that the four members - Jungkook, Jimin, Kim Tae-hyung, and Kim Nam-joon - might enlist for their military service together.

The Like Crazy singer mentioned that they have very little time left and said, as translated by haruharu_w_bts:

"Recently, I posted a dance video, right? There's not much, but because we don't have much time left, we talked about different things we could do for you guys, so I created this dance video and showed it to you because I thought you guys could watch it, so I started doing it."

During the live session, the idol also discussed various topics, including the cooling weather in South Korea and his need to wear warmer clothes. He revealed his plans for the day, mentioning that his parents would cook seaweed soup for him, as it's a South Korean tradition for family or significant others to cook seaweed soup for the person celebrating their birthday.
